D.C. Joins States Grappling with Public Access to Officials' Personal
E-mail Accounts -

A lawsuit has placed the District of Columbia among a growing number of
state and local governments wrestling with requests for public access to
e-mails sent to or from officials' personal accounts.

The lawsuit (PDF) <http://legaltimes.typepad.com/files/foia-complaint.pdf>,
filed yesterday in District of Columbia Superior Court, challenged the D.C.
Council's denial of a freedom of information act request for e-mails sent
to or from councilmembers' personal accounts related to public business.
The plaintiff, the D.C. Open Government Coalition, alleged that the council
is in violation of the city's own FOIA law.
